I Belong: Mix & Mingle Second Edition

Back by popular demand, I Belong: Mix and Mingle Second Edition is a fun, casual, and stress-free networking event over meaningful conversations and cocktails. The first 65 attendees will receive one complimentary beverage and light refreshments will be served alongside a performance by a trio of members of the Yale Undergraduate Jazz Collective. 

This mixer will allow attendees to freely speak about their work, school, and community experiences. Participants will explore through table conversations and mingling; although they may be different on the surface, they share similar goals and interests.

This event is hosted by Krystal Augustine in partnership with  Yale Schwarzman Center, Indigenous Leaders at Yale (ILY)  Yale African American Affinity Group (YAAA)  Belonging at Yale Yale University Department of Psychology  Yale Library DEIA and Working Women's Network.
